Hralf and the Bardic Voice
Another tale of Hralf, in which he is most horribly misunderstood. If you've not met Hralf, start with the first Hralf story "Hralf, Hewer of Sagas." Of course I remember Hralf, a darling boy—and so talented! Really, I've seldom seen such natural ability. Why, yes, I assume we are speaking about the same individual. But … Continue reading Hralf and the Bardic Voice

Hralf, Hewer of Sagas
Hralf? Yeah, I knew Hralf. Better than most, probably. I first ran into Hralf in Old Peldentown, going on thirty years ago. I'm new in town, see, arrived just that morning, and I'd spent the day walking about and seeing what was what and where was where. I'd been exploring the marketplace, and I was … Continue reading Hralf, Hewer of Sagas

Amelia's First Letter. 1 Rue St. Albert, Toulouse, Provençe 6 April 1016 My dearest cousin Armand, I described your message arrows to Dr. Laguerre, and she was fascinated—or, to call a thing by its proper name, outraged.
